Dev 3.0 release

major update

Cube Core · published

Additions

  • Demonic pacts have been added to the game, unlocked at the start of the inferno (stage 150).

    • Ichor will begin being passively collected whilst damaging the cube.

    • You may sign a new pact, giving a random positive and negative affix. You then may choose to Avow your pact, adding a new stronger affix- however the more affixes you add the more likely these are to be negative.

    • If you wish to break your pact and remove the effects, you can choose to either pay more Ichor or accept a temporary debuff. You may choose how much you pay vs how bad the debuff is.
